This just should happen in two cases:
1.) you use a Puppy with a different kernel.
To test that, type:
uname -r
This should return:
2.6.30.5

2.) Not enough diskspace
The pet installs a huge archive:
/usr/local/graficsdrivers/atilatest.tgz
Do you have that? It is around 30MB.

If yes:
3.) when you run xorgwizard and choose the Ati driver, that archive is extracted.
This creates (beside others) the file:
/lib/modules/2.6.30.5/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko
Do you have that?

If not, then something went wrong with extraction.
Maybe not enough free diskspace?
What do you get please by typing:
df -m

If you DO have that file, then it was not properly registered to the kernel. In that case, please type:
depmod -a
and exit X and run xorgwizard again.

Please let me know your results, so that I can fix it in the pet, if it contains any error.

The 1200 is not supported by driver 9.9, only by 9.3.
But as explained in the first message, the 9.3 works erratic with Kernel 2.6.30.5.
You might get a correct resolution, but the driver will crash with 3D applications.

But I don't know, if the 1200 has 3D support with those free drivers.
If you want to try those, do it ONLY with a new savefile, as they overwrite Puppys existing xorg with an incompatible version.
That free driver pet is only intended for those cases, where everything else fails.

It seems to have worked. After installing the new ati driver I ran xorgwizard and chose 1440 x900, then adjusted the image of the LCD screen. Now all the icons are safely visible and everything that's supposed to be round is round.

On my monitor When I press the menu buttons to change brightness or anything it displays what resolution it is set to.
Ive found it works as far back as 216. Once you have the values its just a matter of copying into xorg.conf whenever you need to.
But good to have other ways.

What version of Catalyst do I use for my ATI Radeon Mobility x700? I'm using 2.6.30.5 kernel.

I recommend that you try Patriot's ati driver first. Mark's is a big boy (around 30 MB if I remember.)

Just make sure you can go back if it doesn't work for you. One way to do that would be to boot from live CD with "pfix=ram" boot option so Puppy doesn't use your save file. Then download and install the driver so you can play with it. If it works to your satisfaction, reboot and install.
